This is a little late in being posted, but here it is anyway...out of sequence. We went to Epcot on December 20, Disney-MGM on the 21st and the kids went to The Magic Kingdom on the 22nd while I moved the trailer to the campground from the Resort.

After months of planning...because we like to plan...unless we don't, it's time for us to go. In an unusual display of responsibility, we packed the night before... because unlike Mrs. Incredible, it doesn't take us three whole years to unpack our ...

I made it! 3 flights and 29 hours after jetting off from the dreary International Terminal at Perth Airport I touched down in Orlando to end the first travel phase of the trip. At Perth Airport Qantas must be having a crackdown on carry-on luggage as ...

Ah, I enjoy the long sleep-ins that I get to have on holiday. It wasn't until a bit after 11am that I walked the short distance around the lake to Epcot. From the hotels area at the lake there is a side entrance to the park, which allows ...

So we rerouted our trip from it's northernly direction to visit Virginia, and more specifically Mike and Janet McKinney. Mike was a missionary in Ireland when I met him and it was great to meet his sweet wife, his son Mikey and his beautiful new baby ...

I figure that Disney isn't a bad place to start a holiday that involves long flights and a 12 hour time difference. I was a bit annoyed that my body didn't want to sleep much, waking at around 8am to kill some time at the hotel ahead of taking the ...

... and it seems to get better as I go. I had a unique opportunity today to join Nick and his friend Ryan who were headed to BuenaVista, south of Denver, for some camping and rafting. I said my farewells to Kate and Jim who'd been very hospitable and met up ...

... , thousands of feet above sea-level. We stopped for lunch at Leadville, a picturesque ex-gold-mining town, before heading on to our destination - BuenaVista. Staying in BuenaVista was purely based on it being a three and a half hour drive from Denver, ...

After an adrenaline pumping 48 hours in Moab we moved west into Colorado and started heading south through the Rockies. We'd already seen the Canadian Rockies so we made this a fleeting visit and drove through most of it. When it came time to stay the ...

Hey all, I was just going to start writing about our peaceful little shelter location but just now two fighter jets went screaming overhead. So much for that! Nice walk today of about 18 mi. Had a monster climb first thing in the morning but it was ok ...

... picked up a list of events in and around Lexington – here’s one item on the list that caught our eye; The Beuna Vista Fiddlers Convention we felt it was a must., especially as it featured 'flatfooting’ – no we didn’t have a ...

After our adventures in Moab, we moved west into Colorado and started heading south through the Rockies. We'd already seen the Canadian Rockies so we made this a fleeting visit and drove through most of it but it was still really lovely to see the ...

... think I will even forget being that close to lightning. After that the day just got calmer. We checked into our campground in BuenaVista and drove into town. The town again small had a really neat river front. They have redone part of the Arkansas river ...

First day: drove the 1.5 hours to Disney and checked into our hotel for the night: Disney's AllStar Music Resort. Not my favorite place, but it's clean and had a great special rate for FL residents... and the Wilderness Lodge didn't have anything ...

After a fairly long drive yesterday (7 1/2 hours), we had a fairly easy day today, with only 4 hours left to drive. The kids were very hyped up and greeted our cross into Florida with much cheering. We were snacking in the car and decided to drive ...

Yes-I spent all of my Easter evening at my favorite five-floor interactive theme park. Yes, I will probably never spend another Easter Sunday at DisneyQuest. I definitely made the most of my shift, as I was making magic all over:Aladdin(I was awarded a ...

Good morning! Today is Wednesday, February 23, and what a beautiful day God gave us! Yesterday was a pretty wonderful day, as I woke up around 9:00. You won't believe what I did next....HOMEWORK! Hooray! Brad was productive! I knocked out four or five ...

Day 2 of Disney, which we spent at Magic Kingdom, was another beautiful, sunny, hot day. As planned for the week, the first stop was the FastPass+ kiosk to set up our times so we didn't have to wait in lines for the popular rides. We got FastPasses for ...

.....of course he did! Today, I had the all-important Assessment Day, as I had to take written tests over all eight attractions I will be responsible for, in addition to a fairly substantial test about Disney Quest in general. Questions included ...

Hello dear family and friends! There are four minutes left in this glorious day known as March 15. I actually accomplished quite a bit today, so I am pretty proud of myself. I slept in until 10 am, and it was as magical as it sounds. Then, I finished ...

Hello friends...I love my life. It basically dominates at the moment. Today, I sprung out of my cozy little bed around 9:00, ready to take on Round 2 at Kouzzina! Oh Cat Cora-you had me at artichoke spread on kalamata toast. As many of you know, I am a ...

So today is Day 1 of our 12 day, 11 night vacation in Walt Disney World. It is our 10th ish trip as a family, probably the 15th or 16th for Amy and I. We stayed overnight in Manchester, NH because we had a 6:20 flight. We arrived at ...

... lunch we headed south and didn't drop below 8000 feet. Just played high in the Rockies all afternoon. Ended the day in BuenaVista (800o ft) surrounded by mountains that ranged from 14,000-14,300. Rafting is huge here. Temps hit 75 at ...

Good morning! Last night I was able to see my Aunt Penny, Mike, and Nick at DisneyQuest!!!! Did you know the DQ is my favorite 5 floor interactive theme park?! I was working cybrolators (ticket turnstiles) when Penny and Mike arrived! I have never seen ...

Good morning! It is 7:46, and I have a feeling today will be a tenacious Tuesday in Orlando, FL. Yes, tenacious is not the best word for that sentence, but I like alliteration, and terrific wouldn't cut it. Yes, last night, I did indeed receive a Golden ...

Good morning! Today is Wacky Wednesday, March 23! The Beeman clan, all the way from Bellevue, NE arrived in Orlando last night!!! Hooray! Unfortunately, I am unable to see them today, as I have an appointment, and then I work from 4:30 until closing. ...

I had the lovely opportunity to wake up at 6 am today (Jan. 19) to go to Traditions. I think I will be going to sleep very early throughout this program, as I am exhausted by 8 pm! Today was very fun, as we set out to Disney University for a 4.5 ...

Dragging ourselves out of bed early, EPCOT was the destination for the day. The Daddona's are leaving today and smartly had everything packed and at bell services before we headed out the door. Rob opted to stay back for the morning because he was not ...

The fourth and final park (before the repeats started) was Hollywood Studios, and we had to cram a lot into the morning. The park opened at 9am, but we had a character breakfast reservation for Hollywood & Vine (with the Disney Jr. characters) at ...
